The New York Times Company Foundation conducts a range of philanthropic activities in New York communities that are home to Times Company business units. The Foundation's continuing programs include:
Grants. Each year, the Foundation makes more than $4 million in grants to domestic organizations in five fields: journalism, education, culture, environment and service. No grants are made to individuals, sectarian religious causes, for capital improvements or for health, drug or alcohol therapy.
The Foundation sponsors initiatives in journalism described separately on this site. These New York Times Institutes are short-term immersion courses to bring expertise to writers and editors in subjects on the cutting edge of the news. A different initiative, Campus Weblines, offers the instruction and software needed for students to create school newspapers online.
Matching Gifts. The Foundation administers the program by which The Times Company matches gifts by full-time employees, directors and retirees to qualifying organizations. The match is $1.50 for each $1 contributed, up to an annual limit of $3,000 in gifts each year.
The New York Times College Scholarship Program. Working with Times writers and editors as jurors, the Foundation each year selects 20 Times Scholars, students who have overcome exceptional hardship to achieve excellence in New York City public high schools. Each student receives a four-year college scholarship, mentoring and summer employment.
The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund. Each year, the Foundation administers a fund-raising campaign during the holiday season, with daily stories in The Times describing the travail of many of the city's neediest children, disabled and elderly. The campaign each year draws contributions from about 12,000 readers, totaling more than $8 million. For three consecutive years, using funds from the Neediest endowment, the Foundation has created a summer jobs program for 1,000 disadvantaged teenagers.
Adolph S. Ochs School. The Foundation maintains a special relationship with this Manhattan elementary school, P.S. 111, named for the publisher who founded the modern New York Times in 1896. Support for the school includes reviving the library arts-in-education programs.
